Windows Blue Screen of Death crisis: what we know so far

Businesses across the globe are being affected by a serious issue caused by what appears to be a faulty security update from CrowdStrike which is causing Windows machines to encounter the dreaded Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) – and that’s having a major knock-on effect where airlines, online services and even TV channels are failing.

Obviously, this has caused a huge amount of concern around the world. The issue was first noticed by Australian businesses as computers running Windows went offline, and the issue is now being detected in Europe.
